Praise for Bootsie Barker Bites
★”The story will be appreciated by all children …. The colorful drawings, filled with amusing detail, perfectly express the terroristic tactics and the narrator’s frustrations …. A book that treats a common and often troubling situation with an entertaining but effective touch.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
★”Bootsie comes over every day and the children ‘play’ while their mothers visit. … Playtime itself consists of[Bootsie] tormenting her playmate. When the shy young victim learns that Bootsie will be spending the night, she’s finally stirred to stand up for herself and scare the daylights out of her oppressor. Children will find this a profoundly satisifying turn of events . . . Expressive drawings gives this book unusual vitality . . . A natural for storytime.” — Booklist (starred review)
“Uproariously illustrated …. Hilarious.” —Publishers Weekly
